Baker´Caracas
In 1847 the first sweet, eating chocolate bar was developed by J.S. Fry & Sons in Bristol, England. Walter Baker followed quickly in 1849 with his own sweet chocolate brand, Caracas, which was the same name as one of the highest quality cacao beans available on the market at the time. It is not clear if the earliest version of the Caracas chocolate bar was made specifically for eating, but it ultimately enjoyed a long life as one of Baker’s most popular sweet chocolates for eating and drinking well into the twentieth century.
